Citizenship

In Citizenship, we are committed to providing all students with a broad and engaging PSHE and Citizenship curriculum that meets their individual needs. Our aim is to help them achieve outstanding academic and personal success while preparing them to be active, responsible citizens and lifelong learners. We equip students with essential skills like critical thinking, communication, and teamwork, enabling them to participate fully in contemporary British society.

At Key Stage 4, Citizenship Studies focuses on how individuals can take an active role in democratic politics and work towards creating a better society locally, nationally, and globally. Students learn about power, democracy, the operation of government, the legal system, and the UK's role on the global stage. They also explore and debate complex, topical issues with political, social, ethical, and environmental dimensions.

Through citizenship action projects, students have the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned by trying to make a real difference. This practical experience helps them understand the challenges of civic engagement and builds their confidence in contributing to society.
